Over 10 years ago, Bradford witnessed riots that lasted over 3 days in which the large Asian community were at odds with the white community.
One of the causes was the previous riots in 1995. Asian residents complained about a lack of opportunities and tensions with the police and white working class. They were ignored and 6 years later, tensions boiled over.
Areas such as Manningham quickly turned into a battleground.
Harsh sentences were given to the Asian offenders.
The city realised they had slowly been becoming more segregated.
Both groups felt hatred and disgust at what the other group had done to their city.
The BNP then gained council seats in the predominantly white areas and they encouraged the segregation.
Lord Ousley's report laid out the drastic action that was needed to counteract the segregation.
Today, the BNP is no longer in power, however there's much development that needs to happen, less job opportunities and schools are still segregated.
